Pinkie Pie gets it in her head to co-host a Whose Line Is It Anyway charity show alongside Rainbow Dash to raise money for the people who lost their homes in the Cirrus-Marine crises.
Many laughs were had. Many, many laughs.

Refugee Camp(#676Ten)
This is a Multiverse standard refugee camp set up for refugees of the Cirus-Marrine crises.

There are a lot of tents and temporary housing and overall space is sparce, but thanks to the efforts of people throughout the Multiverse, refugees are well taken care of.

A recreation area with temporary, low budget entertainment areas have been set up near the back of the camp. At the back of the rec area a small theater stand has been set up for various forms of live entertainment.

"Gooood evening, morning, afternoon and super-noon everyone and welcome to the Whose Line Is It Anyway Charity show!"

Pinkie Pie's voice echoes throughout the back end of the refugee camp where a temporary theater has been set up. It's been all decked out in bright banners and everything. There aren't any chairs set up, but people are bringing their own, bringing blankets, etc. Consessions have been set up to one side, selling popcorn, pop, and other treats from Sugar Cube Corner and Sweet Apple Acres.

Off to the side of it a simple desk has been set up - Which a certain pony stands on top of, somehow holding a microphone in one forehoof.

Pinkie Pie has gone all out, dressing up in a black tux for the event.

In a blur of rainbow, Rainbow Dash zips up alongside her. She hasn't been decked out for the evening, but somehow Pinkie managed to convince her to at least wear a top hat and white cuffs for the eveng.

"The show where we make it all up and the points mean jack squat! We're you're hosts, the awwwesome Rainbow Dash!"

Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes, but grins, holding up a microphone to her face. "Yeah, you might as well tell them what we're doing here, Pinks."

"Oh yeah!" Pinkie Pie bounces off of the table and up to where four chairs have been set up near the back of the theater. Well within view, but not in the center of attention - Yet. "We've a bunch of really neato skits lined up that the really good sports are going to act out for us! Totally on the fly! Except not with an actual fly. I mean they're going to make it up as they go!"

"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash nods her head, "So who did we sucker -" She grins innocently, "I mean, who'd we get to volunteer for this? Let's bring 'em out and meet them!"

That would be where a pony in back would start to usher the 'cast' out, where Pinkie Pie is ready with a microphone to let them introduce themselves.

Mortimer Balman has arrived.

Twilight Sparkle has arrived.

For all the "lessons" Orion was imprinted with about astrodynamics or even basic, personal-level human interactions, he's been left with this big gap in subjects like culture and society. And not all exploration requires locomotion.

Parked on the outskirts, beyond where any fee might need to be, the dark grey starship has settled on its landing gear. Not a noise nor motion comes from the metal hulk. However, within the audience area, a boy appears - eager to listen, but also looking around for anyone he might know.

Well, there's nothing like a good comedy show, Sunshine always says. Actually, he doesn't always say that, but he's thinking of adopting it as a catchphrase of sorts. The only problem is that he can't think where he could possibly use it.

In any case, he's here with a bag of popcorn, sitting in the back row to avoid being noticed. It doesn't really work, considering he's ten feet and one thousand pounds of shiny golden sand that takes two seats to hold him, but hey, at least he's making an effort. He just keeps munching away at that popcorn as his shadowy 'eyes' eagerly scan the stage for the volunteers.

When Jinx heard the rumors that there was an improve show being run by Dash and Pinkie Pie for the peope of Cirrus Marine, she felt intrigued… and kinda guilty. I mean, she didn't actually do anything to these people, but she's still allied to the people that did by virtue of being one of Nightmare Moon's lackies. ._. Still, she wants to do something— anything, to help out.

And that's why Jinx is here, with a set of trays on her back, handing out cupcakes and pie slices and drinks to the crowd. She even has one of those silly caps you see concession people wearing at sports stadiums. In all honesty, she looks pretty rediculous, but at least she's helping!

And easily seen by any of the less trusting people so they can keep an eye on her.

._.

Tony Stark has never done this particular sort of attention whoring before, but he is well-versed in attention whoring in general, so how hard could this be? He strides out confidently, looking very smart in an immaculate suit, and… somewhat ruining the effect (or, the argument could be made, perfecting it) by chomping obviously on a piece of gum. He thanks Pinkie and takes a quick turn on the microphone.

"Hi. My name's Tony. I'm here to impress a girl." He touches a finger to his temple in a mock salute, waggles a wave and a wink at some random female figure in the audience, and saunters back to let someone else take center stage.

"The girls love him, and the boys want to be him, it's Negi Springfield!"

CHAMO's introduction is followed by the teenaged Negi dropping onto the stage from the sky, riding his staff down and hopping down with a drop, and then twirling it and giving a smile and wave to the audience, as he introduces himself, "Good evening everyone. My name is Negi Springfield. Nice to meet you, and let's enjoy outselves." Before heading to the stage himself, standing beside Tony.

In the audience, there's a shrill wolf-whistle to Tony Stark. And a woman in a green sweatshirt and jeans laughs, in spite of herself as she leans back, running a hand over her head quietly, and chatting with a very official looking man sitting next to her.

"The girls like her, the boys like her, and most of Negi's students wish they were her right now- — YUNOMI STADLER!" Chamo calls out again, and Yunomi just appears, as her older guise, and lands on Negi's lap with a laugh and a look of surprise.

"Good evening everyone! I'm Yunomi Stadler, let's get this Raccoon-dog and Pony show on the road!" Yunomi grins cheekily, from Negi's lap, before she blinks and re-appears in the chair beside him, straightening herself out.

"She's red hot and red headed. She's none other than Reina Kinney!" Chamo then adds, and Reina steps out as well, giving a casual wave to the crowd, but little else. She doesn't seem to dash out or stride out, just casually walking out.

"Hi, I'm Reina Kinney. I may not seem like a funny woman, but looks can definitely be deceiving." She nods and then goes to wait with the others.

Adjusting her glasses slightly, a certain junior martial artist steps out onstage with brisk movements, leaning into the mic with what she hopes is a game smile. "Hello, everyone, my name's Shizune Nakamura, and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. But that's perfect," she adds with a wry look, "Since we're making it up as we go along anyway," she adds with a grin.

Rarity pokes her head out from offstage for a moment. "What? We're starting already? But I didn't get my makeup yet. Oooh, where is that powder girl? I can't have my complexion being cooked by those stagelights." The unicorn disappears behind stage again…. only to get unceremoniously shoved out by a stagehand moments later, despite her protesting "This is not the star quality treatment I was promised! And that dressing room was just a closet with a star taped to the door anyways!"

"She may be easy on the eyes," Pinkie Pie swings heartily into an intro without missing a beat, or being bothered by the unicorn's fussing. "But that prim and proper primadonna might cut you with her sharp looks — Rarity!"

Rarity stops mid-pout to turn and -glare- at Pinkie Pie. Whom just giggles in return as her point is proven.

"Is that a matzo in your pants or are you just happy to see me? It's Mortimer Balman!"

Mortimer is of course sitting in a comfy chair, rolling his eyes and waving to the crowd after Pinkie Pie introduces him. For those who don't get the joke- Matzo is Jewish flatbread. The joke is now hilarious. LAUGH DAMN YOU.

"And that's all folks! Bye~!"

Pinkie Pie giggles, and then bounces off of the stage once she's introduced everyone.

Wait, what?

A second later there's a burst of confetti from above stage, and Pinkie Pie drops back down again.

"Just kidding! Now we get to the extra special fun part!"

Rainbow Dash laughs, standing up on the announcer's table, "Yup, now we get to the actual games! First up we've got a game called Party Quirks, and for this we're going to pull out Tony, Shizune, Negi aaaaand Rarity! Look under your chairs, guys!"

Sure enough, underneath each of the chairs of the called out cast members there will be an envelope. (OOC: These will be paged in a second!)

"On each of these cards is a weird or special quirk for party members coming to a party that Tony is going to be hosting! We'll ring you guys in-"

Pinkie Pie makes an appropriate 'Ding dong!' noise.

"-Uh, yeah. And then they have to act out these quirks. At the end, Tony's got to figure out what each of their quirks are!"

Pinkie Pie giggles, and starts bouncing back to the announcers table, "Take it away, Tony!"

Rarity just huffs and rolls her eyes, having gotten somewhat use to Pinkie Pie's peculiarities over the last couple of years. She just pulls the envelope out from under her chair with her magic, pulls it open and looks at the note inside… and has to resist not facehoofing. Definately Pinkie Pie's ideas.

Serving drinks, serving drinks, serving drinks— oh hey! The improv show is starting! After taking a moment to give awya the last of the treats on her tray, jinx retreats to somewhere that she won't be in everyone's way and sits down to watch. This should be good!

Reina meanwhile takes a seat and a drink. She leans back and watches, wondering if she'll actually laugh tonight. She rarely ever does that , except when she makes a sarcastic joke or remark.

Sunshine lets out a rather loud chuckle. "Guofuo, nice opener. Now let's see what the real show is all about…" he thinks aloud, taking a soft drink from Jinx's tray. Hey, wait a minute. Something about that pony is familiar…

Nah, it's probably nothing. All ponies look the same anyway.

Negi gets into position and opens his own envelope, and blinks for a moment as he reads it, before shrugging a bit, before popping the envelop into his pocket, and waits behind the spot for the door, waiting for his cue.

Tony Stark shrugs agreeably and lifts an imaginary phone to his face. "No, I said belly dancers, not necromancers. The h…eck is wrong with you, it's not Halloween— hold on. We can discuss exactly how you've /ruined/ this party later, I think I hear someone at the door." He saunters over to the imaginary door, glances back to Pinkie for the cue, and once it's given, opens it. "Hey! glad you could make it…?"

Pinkie is too busy watching, so after a second, Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes, and presses on the top of Pinkie's head.

Pinkie appropriately goes 'Ding-dong!' to let Negi in.

Shizune reaches down under her chair in a quick gesture, pulls out the envelope, and opens it. Whatever's inside causes her eyebrows to jump way up, before she gives a little shrug, stuffs it back in, and leaves it on her chair. Obediently, she falls into place at the back of the line, and waits.

Negi steps right in, and looks up to Tony, and proceeds to says, "Oh hi, thanks for *BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP* me here, *BEEPBEEP*." Stepping right by and picking up a an imaginary glass of juice and sipping on it, "Name's *BEEP*BEEP* *BEEP*BEEP*."

Freya who came to the show laughs at Negi performance.

In her chair, Yunomi giggles as she leans forward, sipping her bottle of water as she watches Negi beep.

Not laughing yet, Reina starts to smirk a little with a raised eyebrow. She takes a drink again.

Tony Stark replies with dignity, "Glad you could come, *BEEP*BEEP*." It's more of a squawk than a beep when he tries to duplicate the noise. "Wasn't sure you'd make it." And he hazards his guess, "Must be pretty busy down at the network censorship office?" He adds, casually, "Try the veal, it's the best in the city. Or so I'm told."

Pinkie Pie just starts to giggle-snort, rolling back on her haunches. Even Rainbow starts laughing, causing her to take a second to remember that they have to ring the next person in. She has to grab Pinkie Pie in a headlock to make her sit still long enough for her to press on her head.

"Ding-dong!" Goes Pinkie, ringing Rarity in.

For a little, Orion stares, not quite getting the jokes. Then, finally, he bursts into a giggle. The avatar also happens to see Freya, so he navigates through the crowd a murmurs a quiet hi.

Freya smiles and quietly say Hi back to Orion.

"Close!" Pinkie Pie manages to say between giggling.

Negi just continues the conversation, despite beind more or less discovered instantly, though there was till a few more hints, "Oh yes, they were. I was not sure if I could show up here. You see, *BLEEPBLEEP* was the *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* at the *BLEEPBLEEP*. I was *BLEEPBLEEP* to the point where *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* and *BLEEPBLEEP* were *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* and *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* for the last *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEP*. It was just a just a *BLEEPBLEEP* shame that I could not *BLEEPBLEEP*." He pauses for a moment, before saying. "*BLEEP*"

Tony Stark wriggles his little finger in his ear and makes an exaggerated eyeroll of 'I'm being deafened' pain as he's bleeped into oblivion. "You should get treatment for the tourettes, man. Or you're gonna /get/ censored into oblivion."

Rarity naturally 'enters' with all the prose you would expect of an unicorn of her nature, head held high and somewhat snootily. Hard to tell if she's being herself, or it's part of the act. "Good evening, gentlemen. I presume everything is in order? If you don't mind me looking around, I'm sure everything will be " She stops and jerks her head to the side, ears up as if she had heard something. "What was that?" Makes as if to sniff the air, and then trots off to another part of the stage and… starts seemingly randomly squinting.

Tony Stark calls over to the white unicorn, "Lovely to see you, Inspector. Can I get you a drink?"

Then, because it's time for the last party member to arrive, Dash presses on Pinkie's head again.

"Ding-dong!"

Negi Springfield is trying his best to not give it away precisely what the issue is with him. "Hi, miss. I hope you are well *BLEEPBLEEP*. It could have been a whole lot worse. Are you *BLEEPBLEEP* for *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* in *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* miss? I'm sure I could help you with yours search for the *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* source of… *BLEEPBLEEP**BLEEP*"
He directs to Rarity.

And 'in' walks Shizune, her face mashed into her bicep as if she were trying to replace her nose with her shoulder. "Wrrrrr! Wrrrrr! Hello, Tony! Wrrrrrrrr!" It's a strange, high-pitched noise, her arm flapping about as if she's trying to flail it up and down. "You've got a real nice room here, I'll just make myself at home!" She immediately makes a beeline for Negi.

With a sudden sense of URgency, and possibly a string of curses, Pepper Potts is up, and stalking out.
Pepper Potts has left.

If Tony's close or not Rarity doesn't make an indication to him as she looks up. "Why yes. Lemonade would be fine. I wager there is no shortage of—" She stops midsentence, only to abruptly SHRIEK as if something had startled her and jumps in the arms of the nearest person comically as she wails, "Oh, the horror! The stinging sour hot horror!"

what, of course she's drama queening it up.

Sunshine has to think about it for a bit as more and more of the volunteers enter the scene, but it seems he finally gets it as he starts chuckling again.

Negi is incidentally the closest, and catches Rarity, "Miss, why are you *BLEEPBLEEP* *BLEEPBLEEP* my arms?"

Tony Stark flings his hands wide. "Seriously, dude, tone it down a notch on the swearing. This is a family party. That I… tried to hire belly dancers for." He… stares at Shizune, shakes his head helplessly and pinches the bridge of his nose. He mimes getting a cup of lemonade for Rarity and abruptly finds his arms full of pony. "Aw, now you've made me spill it," he complains. "You shouldn't… be so nervous about everything?"
Tony Stark and Negi caught her together!

Rarity ends up sprawling across BOTH set of arms, just as she does her couch usually.

Still smirking, Reina continues to drink and watch this whole show. She's not giggling yet, almost like she's trying to make a conscious effort to try to keep from laughing.
Rarity fortunately is a very light pony, being a finicky eater

No sooner have Tony and Negi caught Rarity than Shizune bumps into them all, peering over their shoulders in the most annoying and invasive way possible, still flailing her new arm-nose. "Wrrrrrr! Wrrrr! Do you need help? I'll work for peanuts!"

Freya ahs and get what Negi is!

"I… really don't think a flying elephant will help," Tony retorts, making a show of dropping Rarity on the floor though really he lets her down as gently as possible.

Negi sighs and carefully sets Rarity down, as he looks to Tony, "Sir, look. I know this seems odd, but I am not *BLEEPBLEEP* right now. I have a *BLEEPBLEEP* for not *BLEEPBLEEP* like you. The Big words are hard to *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP* *BLEEPBLEEP* *BLEEPBLEEP* the *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEP*. Kay?"

Rainbow Dash is snickering her head off. "And he's being bleeped because he's saying words that are… what?"

The moment Rarity is set down, Shizune immediately shifts tracks to her. "Wrrrrr! Wrrrrrr! Hey where did you get your hair done? Wrrrrrr!"

"I get partial points for this, right?" Tony mutters good-naturedly. "Sir. I really need to you to slow down, and use smaller words. I'm not sure you're sober enough to use anything over one syllable."
Rainbow Dash stomps down on Pinkie Pie's tail. She goes. "BZZZZZZZZZ!"

"Yup! Got it!"

Tony Stark stabs a finger at Shizune. "And you're a very NOSY elephant, you know that?"

Rarity ends up dangling partially out of Negi's arms when Tony 'drops' her, turning her hamming it up literally upside down. "Noooo, you fool! That may of been the last of it now! All the stock is going up in flames!" And then he sets her down as well, but she gives him a mock glare. "My goodness, watch your mouth! This is serious but there may be children in the audience." .. She just ad libbed a Pinkie Pie moment. Followed by squinting at Shizune. "Why I did it myself, of course… but that's not the point right now!"

Negi sighs in relief and says, "Thank you, for *BLEEPBLEEPBLEEP*…" He pauses for a moment, before saying, "You *BLEEP*." And walking off the stage. He doesn't actually SAY the last word, but it's comedy.

Unable to help herself, Shizune finally loses her composure. There's only so much silly over-acted 'elephant' one girl can take. "I almost did my best impression of you, Mr. Stark," she teases, heading back off to the side.

Tony Stark makes a gesture after Negi that is just rude enough to imply that he understood that last word, but not rude enough to cross the 'family friendly' boundary. He waggles his fingers in a farewell wave to Shizune as he nails her character, and then turns his attention back to Rarity, pulling thoughtfully at his beard. The word 'stock' makes him think of those endless meetings… "Don't worry, there's more lemonade… Madame Chairperson?"

Giggling, Pinkie Pie shakes her head. "Nope! You were closer before!"

Rarity turns her head again to glare at Tony. Stands on her back legs to make vage jesturing in front of her as if trying to point at something. "How can you say that to my face when all the production material is literally burning up in front of us? Oh why, oh why? Why must I endure such a soured turn of events? There is no reason for such conflageration!"

Tony Stark giggles at himself, rolling a hand around in a circular motion as if to kick his brain into gear. "Okay, okay, hot and sour… sorry," he laughs, "all that's coming to mind is soup. Ok," he mutters, "inspector was closer… uh… you're… fire inspector? Soup nazi? I… have no idea."

Rarity narrows her eyes slightly at Tony. "We're talking about lemonade, I'm nitpicking over stock being ruined, and you have no idea what conflageration even means, do you?" It's really hard to tell if she's still acting at this point or if she's annoyed with his inability to guess.

Tony Stark is still barely containing a laugh as his shoulders quiver but he puts on his most serious face to stare down Rarity. "I know what a conflagration is!" he snipes back. "It's a big fire. Am I… being fired due to a sour stock market?" He knows it's an awful guess and he shrugs apologetically to her, biting down on his lip to hold the giggles in.

Negi is sitting in the background trying his very politest not to face-palm.

Tony Stark tries again. "Are you a lemon farmer who lost all your stock in a fire?"
Yeah, Tony looks well and truly stuck. Pinkie or someone had better bail him out.

"Ahahahaha!" The outburst of laughter comes from the desk as Pinkie Pie rolls. "That's not it, but you get a point for the horrible punnery! Of course, since the points mean nothing…"

"…" Rarity throws her hooves in the air. "I cannot work under these conditions!" Then turns and stomps off the stage, playing the primadonna thing to the hilt now.

"Inspector in a lemonade factory with the lemons burning for no reason, but that was closer!"

Pinkie Pie collapses into giggles once more.

Negi just laughs in the background, giving some light applause in the mean tim.

And Rainbow Dash is flat out on the announcers table, slapping at it with her hoof in her laughter.

Shizune is doing her level best to cover her mouth and avoid laughing.

Her level best isn't good enough.

Freya smiles and shakes her head giggling..

Tony Stark flings an arm after Rarity. "That was a little overly specific, wasn't it?" He appeals to the audience. "Seriously, guys, back me up here." As his eyes sweep over those assembled they narrow ever so slightly at the absence of a certain woman in a green sweatshirt. He maintains his public facade, smiling and waving and pinging a finger off his head in a 'derp, I totally should have known THAT' gesture as he returns to his chair, but privately he's tuning his codec.

By now, Reina has stopped drinking, because she's actually giggling a little now. Then her giggles form into full laughs!

And Mort is of course just leaning his head into his hand, snorting and trying not to laugh too much.

It takes a few seconds, but Pinkie Pie manages to stop laughing long enough - Because she's laughed herself into hiccups. "That -hic- was -hic - hilarious!" She says between hiccups. "500 points -hic- to Tony for the puns!"

"Aaaand 200 cool points a piece for the rest. Of course, cool points equal triple," Rainbow Dash adds, snickering to herself. She collects a card from the stack that had been knocked around all over the place by their laughter. "Next up, we've got Question's Only!"

"Yuparoony!" Pinkie Pie bounces up and down a few times on the table, sending it wobbling and almost making it collapse. "And it's for Mort, Yunomi, Reina aaaand Negi! You four are going to act out a scene talking /only/ in questions!"

"Yeah, and if you mess up, we buzz you out!" Rainbow Dash shows an example of this by stepping on Pinkie's tail. She goes: BZZZZZZZZ! "And if you take too long, we buzz you out too. 'Cause there's no room for slowpokes!"

"Nope-a-dope! Okay! So! You're all people at that big doozy of a Multiverse Mall and you're trying to decide which store to go to first when suddenly, ALIENS EVERYWHERE! You're up firsty, Mort and Yunomi!"
"
Giggling still, Reina looks up and nods. "Speaking only in questions? Would you believe me if I said I can handle that?" She asks with a chuckle.

Mortimer hops up onto his feet, makes like he is holding a large gun of some sort, and.. Runs up to Yunomi. "Did you hear that?"

Negi hops back to his feet and positions himself on Yunomi's side of the stage.

Freya smiles and just watches the show. This should be intersting..

E18-A Orion also continues to watch, giggling from time to time at the antics on stage.

Tony Stark folds his arms contentedly over his chest and leans back in his chair with his legs splayed out before him to watch the chaos ensue. Chewing his gum again. He must have tucked it into his cheek for the earlier bit. It also helps to cover the subvocalizations still being passed over his radio.

"Oh boy, I love this game!" Jinx says with the clapping of hooves. n_n

"It does sound like a highly comedic premise." Twilight says from beside Jinx. When did she get here?

Rarity having had her fun on stage for the time being Rarity has wandered down into the audience, and spots her two friengs.. Though she looks slightly surprised to see Jinx here. "Well that was embarassing. But I suppose worth it if the show is being enjoyed. Hello dahlings."

Yunomi blinks and looks up "Did I hear what?" She asks, and puts a hand to one of her tanuki-like ears, looking to Mortimer.

Mortimer looks around nervously. "Didn't hear that awful screeching?"

"Oh, hello Rarity! That was a great showing up there!" Jinx replies with as she looks at Rarity, still wearing her little concessionist hat.

"Wait, were you the one who borrowed it previously without telling me?" Reina asks.

Twilight Sparkle blinks. "I find it highly unlikely that there would be a book about alien languages in a mall."

Tony Stark briefly places a hand over his face and giggles silently at that comment from the audience.

Rarity asides to Twilight "I think that's the joke, dahling."

Twilight Sparkle blinks again, looking to Rarity, then back to the stage. "..oh."

"… didn't I say it was for homework?" Yunomi asks embarrassedly, rubbing the back of her head.

"What grade are you in?" Reina asks.

"Aren't you in my science class?" Yunomi inquires back.

"No I'm not…" Then Reina facepalms. "DOH!"

Without Pinkie Pie, Dash has to make the buzzing sound herself. Between cracking up. "BZZZ BZZ BZZZZ! That's it, folks! Five hundred radical points to Yunomi for awesome use of goggles!"

Yunomi pats her Izzet goggles, and returns Negi's glasses to him with a quiet "sorry…"

Tony Stark grins and applauds, giving Yunomi a nod. Respect.

Negi just giggles and shakes his head, before taking them back and says, "I was thinking of getting Contacts eventually."

"You look good with or without them." Yunomi gives a smile to Negi, and goes and sits down grabbing a drink from her waterbottle with a nod to Stark.

After a second, Rainbow looks around her. Pinkie Pie hasn't popped up again yet! "Wait, where'd she… Ugh, figures." She rolls her eyes. "Guess it's the Rainbow Dash show! Next up, scenes from a hat! This is for Tony, Shizune, Reina and Morty."

"Where'd we put those scenes anyway?" Rainbow muses, rubbing the side of her head. She shrugs, and lifts the top hat off of her head. And causes dozens of little strips of paper to fall out on top of her.

She sighs out of the corner of her muzzle, causing her bangs to flare out and sending a few strips of paper to fly away. "Yeah, yeah. So, in this game we've got loads of awesome scene ideas from the audience in this hat." Dash sets the hat aside and starts picking up pieces of paper to drop back in it. "We're gonna see how many of these those guys can act out!"

Absently she takes a strip of paper off of her head. "We'll start with this one. It better be a cool one." A pause, and she blinks, looking a little confused as she reads out: "Things you can say to a wizard, but not your girlfriend."

Negi for whatever reason just finds himself walking to the center stage. Waiting for the onslaught.

After taking a few moments to think of something, Shizune smoothly stands up, looking a touch awkward, scratching the back of her head, and mutters in an almost dejected tone, "I think the magic is gone…"

Tony Stark pushes himself up, rolling his tongue thoughtfully in his cheek as he tucks his gum away again. He chucks his thumb over his shoulder. "So I was just out getting the staff polished…"

NEgi doesn't say a word."

Orion doesn't look like he gets it. His face is wrinkled with confusion.

Rarity puts a hoof over her mouth at the topic… and the responses it gets. "Oh my."

Only vaguely familiar with Lotor, poor Shizune stays off to the side for this one.

Mortimer pops forward again. "How Green Was My Handstump." Pretending to read a book cover, and then back into line.

Tony Stark had just started to offer, "That's an amazing beard you have going there," but he cuts himself off at the new prompt. "Am I Blue?"

Sunshine's laughter has died down to some quiet snickering at both the people on stage and the reactions. Oh, this is well worth the price of admission.
Tony Stark then suggests, "How to Make Friends and Turn Them Into Hideous Monsters."

Meanwhile, out in the audience a grumpy looking redhead sat herself down with the official looking gentleman, and she cranes her head slightly, looking up for Tony on stage.

Yunomi gets up, unable to contain herself, and steps in. SHe looks at a 'book cover.

"Between the Lions…"

Mort walks forwards, pantomiming taking a book off the shelf. "Always Watch For Incoming Boots." Walks offstage, pretending to read.

Yunomi goes back to her chair giggling.

Negi steps onto the stage and mimes picking up a book, and reads the cover…
Negi Springfield says, "My secrets to making the entire Union Mad… Foreward written by Cossack.""

"BZZZ!" Goes the Dash, who is trying hard not to laugh too hard

And failing marvelously.

This time she actually has to go to the hat to pull one out at random.

"Difficult things to sell door-to-door."

Rarity holds a hoof up to her mouth to shout at the stage "Lotor's biography!"

Negi steps back to the stage, "How would you like to own the entire set of Encyclopedia Britannica."

"I Am not an Elf—" Tony again stops himself at the buzzer and reconfigures stance, assuming what he considers to be his hard-sell posture. "Sir can I interest you in these slightly used prophylactics?"

Mortimer steps back up. Gestures to himself.

Pepper's laughing in the audience, partially covering her mouth. THe official looking gentleman next to her is giggling, his face red.

*THUNK* That would be the sound of Rainbow Dash falling over on her table and laughing.

Negi walks back up to the stage, and displays, "Lotor's Biography… Forward Written by Cossack."

Tony Stark has to cover his mouth and laugh at Negi's offering, but he rallies with, "Have you accepted Goddish as your personal saviour?"

Mortimer goes back up again, pulling Tony along with him. "As you can see ma'am he's just the picture of good health, and for an extra five dollars we'll even shave the beard."

Tony Stark flexes helpfully.

Okay, that was too much even for her. Possibly because she gets the connotations involved better than some of her friends would… Either way Rarity starts laughing hard enough at Mortimer that she's got to lean on Pinkie Pie for support.

Then realizes Pinkie Pie is there in the first place. Blinks. "… Aren't you suppose to be helping Dash MC?"

Mortimer runs into the audience real quick, picks up Rarity, and puts her on the stage. …And just gestures to her.

"Three dollars!"

"Eight dollars!"
"Three and a bag of sweedish fish!"

Despite laughing so hard, Rainbow manages a "BZZ-*haha*-ZZZZ! No points for that last one, Mort!"

She then gropes around inside the hat to grab a slip of paper from the hat. And once she reads it, bursts out laughing again.

Then, once she calms down a little, says: "What women really say about Tony Stark."

Rarity eeks as she's hauled off to the stage and put on display. She opens her mouth to say something snappy, but it's cut short by offers actually being shouted out. Blink.. and then she puffs her curled bangs with one hoof. "Well at least some people have good taste."

Pepper, in the audience, puts her hands over her mouth, and blushes.

Oh, what a gift. Tony makes a broadly thoughtful face, stroking his goatee, eyes seeking out that particular redhead in the crowd. He steps up to center stage, puts the microphone right up to his mouth, and breaths, "…oh my god."

Mortimer walks up on stage and gets a horrified look on his face. "The hell is that thing on your chin?"

Pepper turns a brilliant shade of red in the audience, her hands over her mouth as she laughs so hard that she begins to tear up.

With a quick step, Shizune trots up to the mic, leans in, and then makes a horrified face. "…oh my /god/."

Twilight Sparkle laughs!

At /that/ one, Potts completely loses it laughing.

"BAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!" Rainbow Dash laughs at Shizune, rolling around on her table.

And then rolls right off the table with a *THUD*

"Ow."

Negi Springfield just rolls laughing.

Yunomi is leaning back against her chair, laughing hard enough to turn the pinks inside her ears red.

Mortimer steps back up again. "Tony.. Sweetie.. …Leave the mask on."

Freya winces hearing that one then start laughing..

Negi Springfield just can't find it in himself to step onto the stage this time.

Tony Stark laughs heartily and gives Shizune a playful shove. Then puts up both hands in surrender.

Rarity -technically- isn't suppose to be in on this game, but seeing as she's already been dragged onto stage she decides to chim in anyways, seeing as she actually -is- a woman. Well, mare. Same difference. "I'm only dating him for the big shiny in his chest."

"Oh! Oh! My turn!" Wait, Pinkie was just… And now she's just…

Forget it, just forget it.

While Rainbow Dash is too busy laughing, Pinkie Pie plucks a piece of paper off of the table and reads:

"What Rainbow Dash does in her cloud home when she thinks she's alone."

THAT stops Rainbow's laughter. "HEY!"

"That's what it says, Dashie!"

Tony Stark rallies back promptly with, "Calls in light rainfall to the weather channel, then pees over the side."

Mortimer frowns at Stark. "You're supposed to pantomime it.." But shrugs, and goes up next. And then.. Mimies sleeping. Because everypony knows Dash is a lazybutt.

Without skipping a beat, Shizune trots right up to the mic again past Tony, shoots him the eternal 'Mr.-Stark-That-Is-Horrible' look, and then mimes reading a book. "…with… foreword… by… Cossack…"

Oh, right. Panto. Tony throws himself down on the stage and thrusts one hand out, examining his nails critically. An invisible phone is held up with one hunched shoulder. "And then I told him, 'no way, I would /so/ never go out with Tony Stark, the man has a GROWTH on his face. So gross!'"

Mortimer steps up again, begins acting like he's digging through stuff. "I know you're in ONE of these drawers, Pinkie!!"

Almost immediately, Shizune barks a surprised laugh before she can cover her mouth.

Rainbow Dash appears from the other side of the table to stick her tongue out at the others. Though she's grinning behind it, as she swipes the hat back off of the table.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up!"

"… And I only did that once!"

Wait, which part? Eh, she's probably just joking around.

She reaches into the hat and pulls out another strip.

Then starts snickering again. "Oh, this'll be awesome: Things you won't hear on the broadband radio."

Mortimer walks up to the mic. "I'm the most chaste and nonviolent person you'll ever meet." Walks back to the line.

Yunomi, who apparently just didn't want to stay still any longer, walks up to the Mic, and executes Lotor's voice:

"… forward… by… Cossack…"

Yunomi bounces back to her seat to wait her turn again.

Blitz Raptor has arrived.

*WHUD WHUD WHUD* Rainbow Dash pounds on the table with a forehoof. The hat falls over, spilling the pieces of paper back over again, a few falling on top of her nose. Her laughter dies off just long enough so she can gather one of them up in her hoof to read.

"What Solid Snake hides in his cardboard boxes."

Freya just facepalms.

Negi steps onto the stage.

Well, Sunshine doesn't know Rainbow Dash very well, so he didn't actually get any of that last round. But the radio bit has him guffawing again. "Chaste and nonviolent, guofuofuo, it's so true!"

Tony Stark clears his throat, leans over the mic with hands clasped innocently behind his back, and /croons/, "First, you cut a hole in the box…"

Negi Springfield mimes lifting a box, and says, "Huh… Another box."

Inspired once more, Shizune takes a few steps forward, leans down as if peering in a box, and makes a confused face. "Mr. Stark?"

Mortimer steps up to the mic, pretends to be reading. "Foreword by Cossack.." Steps back into line.

Pepper apparently thinks this is pretty riotous, and is wiping at her eyes.

Rarity flops over in another fit of giggles in spite of herself

Mortimer steps up to the mic again, pretends to be looking into a box. "…Waldo!"

Yunomi hops up, and stands on her tip-toes to look inside the box.

"Otakon? What /is/ that?!"

"BZZZZZZZZZZZ" Goes the Pinkie Pie, who stepped on her own tail accidentally when she was laughing too hard.

"Oops, guess we're done with that one!"

Somehow, Rainbow Dash manages to make herself stop laughing. She's half sprawled out on top of the table, her other half flat out on the floor. "Yeah, yeah. Okay, what's up next Pinks?"

Pinkie Pie looks over to where the cards were supposed to be. Which are now strewn about everywhere when Rainbow was rolling around laughing. "Uhm…" She pauses. Then just grabs one. "Here we go! Ooooh! This is a goodie one!" She says, bouncing up and down a few times. "This one is superheroes! It's for Yunomi, Rarity, Negi and Tony!" A pause, "Wait, aren't they super-heroes already?" She shrugs a little, "Oh well! For this one they're going to be wacky fun super-heroes who are off to save the world from something!"

"Oh this'll be cool. Let's have Rarity start us out as our super-hero, and then she'll name the next one coming in, right?"

"Yup! And then the next! Oh, and we need extra super suggestions from the audience! We neeeeed a type of super hero for Rarity to be and a crazy funny crises!"

Not getting out of this one, Rarity!

"Junk Pony!"

"DRAMA QUEEN!
"She's already that.."

Rarity says, "MY PLOT IS JUST FINE THE SIZE IT IS!" Rarity shouts back at the 'Junk Pony' remark."

Rainbow Dash says jokingly, "Give us something she isn't already!"

Freya says, "Opera Man!"

Mortimer Balman immediately chokes on his water and begins coughing.

"AQUA PONY!"

"Explosion Mare"

"Diamond Mare!" someone from the audience shouts!

"What about Shower Gal!"

"SPANKY!"
Rarity makes a -._-. expression at the audience. "I hate you all right now."

"Oh! Oh! Explosion Mare! I like that one!" Pinkie Pie bounces a few times, then grabs a pencil and starts to scribble something down.

"Right, now what crises is she and the other super heroes going to be solving?" Rainbow calls out, grinning from ear to ear.
Freya says, "Baby sitting!"

"Shortage of Marshmallows!"

"There's no attractive men left in the world!"

"Fashion is out of date!"

"Changing a diaper!" Jinx shouts!

"AQUA PONY!"

"Schmooze!"

"Pinkie Pie has gone missing!"

"Fluttershy is /really/ Evil!"

"Doctor Whooves has arrived!"

Yunomi hops up as she grins from her seat, setting her water down as she stretches her arms.

"Hair salon robbery!"

"Her costume has a tear in it!"

"Evil cats from outer space!"

Yunomi on a surgar high!

"The sun is fake!"

"AQUA PONY!"

"Twice!"
Pepper Potts says, "No ice cream left in Equestria!""

Twilight Sparkle exclaims, "All the books are gone!"

"The rum is gone!"

Sunshine pitches in, "Someone stole all the sand from the beaches!"

Rarity lets out an exasperated sigh. "Well if I'm going to be forced to humiliating myself in public for the sake of charity." The fashionista trots off to the side of the stage, plucks down a curtain and snatchs up a towel with her magic, and trots back on stage with the curtain tied around her neck like a cape and, after using her horn to poke a pair of holes in it, ties the towel over her face as a mask. "I'm at least going to do it properly dressed for the part." Oi, does she ever not think of something fashion related?

Pinkie giggles, bouncing up and down a few times. "That's a good one! Explosion mare! The world is running out of Marshmallows! What are you and your super duper extra awesome friends going to do!?"

Rarity closes her eyes and achems softly, taking a moment to get into character.

Then goes right back into her usual melodramatic act, foreleg to forehead. "Oh, the horror! All the marshmellows in the world are disappearing. And at the worst possible time, the superhero campout is this weekend. Whatever shall we do?"

The answer is apparently mimicing pulling out a celphone, dialing it, and holding it up to her head. "Yes, that's right. Marshmellows. Gone… what, no, I'm still here… Whatever! Get over here so we can figure out who I need to explode. Twice!"

Yunomi peers at Rarity, and she hops out, striking a dramatic pose! "I'm here!" she says, with /DRAMATIC ENTRY/.

Twilight Sparkle giggles. "Morse-tapping! A clever reference to how Morse code can be tapped out, and tap dancing!" Thanks Twilight.

Negi looks to Tony and says, "Aqua Pony! You've shown up just on time! The world is running out of Marshmallows." Negi suddenly hops over to Rarity and pulls her onto her high legs for a tango of her own.

At the end of her spin, Yunomi gives another whipcrack, and giggles as she crowd goes wild.

Tony Stark is now Aqua Pony.

Tony Stark immediately drops to his hands and knees and then 'rears' up heroically. "If my ability to talk to fish can help, then I am at your service, fellow heros!" And then, for no discernable reason, "Shoo-shoo be doo!"

And the Crowd Goes Wild.

THUNK, Rainbow Dash hits the ground again laughing again.

And Mortimer falls out of the chair laughing.

Freya just shakes her head and start laughing..

Sunshine doesn't get it. He doesn't care. He accidentally knocks the guy next to him out of his seat from slapping his back too hard.

Rarity is struggling to not make her next explosion one of laughter, even as she's danced around by Negi. "As long as you can do something more useful. Last time all you did was get tanked."

"Ba-dum—" WHIPCRACK!

"To be fair, it was a… fishy situation — but this is even worse. Aqua Pony, can you ask your Fishy Friends to tell us where they have—" CRACK! CRACK! "… seen the Marshmallows go?"

Tony Stark hangs his head. "With great power comes great responsibility. Sometimes it's just more than an Aqua Pony can handle… Yes, Wet Towel Whipping Girl. I shall use my great power to ask the FISH what's happened." He 'trots' a little way across the stage and mimes sitting up to hook his front 'hooves' over the edge of a fishtank, and plunges his head in. "FRIEND FISH!" he shouts, trying to make his voice sound warped and wobbly. It ends up sounding a bit like Zoidberg. "Have you seen the missing marshmallows?"

He pauses, pretending to listen. Nods a couple of times, pulls his head out and shakes vigorously like a wet dog. Deep breath. "They don't know anything," he reports.
Tony Stark rears up again and neighs triumphantly, "Shoo be doo!"

Negi in the mean time releases Rarity's hooves and just begins to do the Robot.

Tony Stark gallops triumphantly off the stage!

Negi then spins and says, "I'll make haste to the Stars. I'll dance among them until they reveal the secrets of the missing marshmallows…" And he proceeds to Riverdance off the stage.
"Worst… super heroes… ever…" Rainbow Dash manages between fits of laughter.

Rarity does an increasingly noticable eye twitch as each 'hero' makes their proclimation and proceeds off the stage. "The world.. is.. so doomed… I CANT TAKE IT ANY LONGER!"

And there's an *explosion* of light. And then just the cape and mask flop to the floor afterwards.

Of course Rarity just made a bright flash with her magic and ditched the costume to run off stage when no one could see her.

"Guofuofuofuo, oh that slaps me on the knee." Sunshine manages to get out once his laughter dies down again. Alright, what's the next skit going to be, he wonders?
And the crowd (Plus Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie) just erupts in laughter and applause. Mostly laughter.

It takes a few minutes, but the two pony mares finally manage to get over their laughter. Pinkie Pie bounces up first, gigglesnorting with each bounce.

"That was fandifertastic! Amazerific! Way to go, super heroes!" She gigglesnorts, "Even though you didn't actually save the day. Oh well, we'll find the marshmallows later!"

"Pinkie Pie, you are SO random." Rainbow says as she pushes herself back up to all four hooves. "So what do we have next?"

"Oh, it's a good one, but it's also the last one," Pinkie Pie says, looking a little sad. "But that's okay, because we all had a super amazing fun time, right!?"

A massive cheer rises from the crowd for all of the 'cast' on stage.

"Yup! And since it's the last one, we're going to do a /hoedown!/"

Which ilicits a groan from Rainbow Dash. "Good luck with that one guys. I'm so glad I'm -HEY! Let go!"

She finds herself abruptly being pushed out into the open by Pinkie Pie, who has pinned Rainbow's wings down so that she can't just fly off.
"Nuh-uh, Dashie! It's in the rules that the host has to join the others in a hoe down! And I just knoooowww you love hoedowns!"

"I do not!"

"Silly, of course you do! Now, we need to announce our winner who'll co-host with me for it!"

Pinkie Pie pauses, rubbing at her chin. "Our winner is…" She closes her eyes, swirls her forehoof around, and then abruptly points at one of the contestants.

Landing on Tony.

"Tony Stark! Congrats, Tony! You're our winnerific winner who gets to co-host with me for the Hoedown! Yunomi, Negi and Mort will get to Hoedown with Dashie!"

"THE RUM IS ALL GONE!"
Tony Stark thrusts both fists in the air like an Olympic gold medalist, bows graciously and jogs over to stand by Pinkie Pie. "I second Tony Stark!" he calls out.

"I DRANK IT LIKE YOU SAID!"

"Lemons!"

A white unicorn mare with a blue mane pokes her head out from behind the piano on the side of the set. "I heard that, Tavi!"

"SOUR MILK!"

"AQUA PONY!"

"Snake's box!"

"Dude, enough with the aqua pony already."

"Lotor's book!"

"FRIENDSHIP!"

Twilight Sparkle blinks. "Hey!"

"GET HIM!"

"Who the hell let Chris Brown in here?"

Tony Stark cups his hands to his mouth. "The lemons are on fire!"

But there was only a mysterious patch of sand where Sunshine was sitting a few moments ago.

"YEAH TAKE THOSE LEMONS!"
"… Birds!"

"UNCLEAR LOVE INTERESTS!"
"OH MY /GOD/!"

"Ponies who think they know fashion but actually know nothing!"

Rarity heys! "I heard that!"

"PINKIE PI—-" WHACK!

"UNFAIR DISTRIBUTION OF HANDS AMONGST SPECIES!"

Lyra glances back and forth as Bonbon and Carrot Top glare at her from either side. "What? It sounded rediculous enough!"

Pepper looks back. Someone just got hit with a cake.

"I second the fashion remark!"

"Not sitting in chairs properly!"

"Eeeeeviiiiiil!"

"MUFFINS!"

"Hey! I /like/ muffins!"

"Mmmm. … muffins.."

"Worn out shoes!"

"MATH!"

"CHECK LISTS!"

"WOMANIZERS!"
Rarity then blinks a few times at the stage. "… Huh, I figured Pinkie Pie would be doing the musical number."

"Someone already said Tony Stark!"

Mortimer Balman eyes out at the audience at the womanizers comment.. Oh they meant Stark.

"PANTS!"

"Oh wow, so many goodsie woodsie ideas," Says Pinkie Pie after she bounces back up to the table with Tony.

She cants her head to the side, hmmming. "Oh! Lemons! They're always so sour and full of themselves! And they catch on fire when you least expect it!" She slaps one forehoof in the other. "Okay guys, you're doing the lemon hoedown! With musical guest, Vinyl Scratch!"

Behind the piano, the white unicorn raises up a hoof and waves it vigorously. Then someone pushes away the piano, and there's DJ PON-3's mixing table there behind it instead.

At first it produces what sounds like a regular hoedown on the piano.

Then the beat drops, and it turns into a hoedown dubstep.
Tony Stark turns and casts a bemused look over the audience at that, purses his lips, shakes his head and tsks.

Out in the audience, Pepper just gives a smile, leaning back in the grass a bit as her boss is having a /grand/ ol' time up on stage.

Mortimer, being first to go, steps up and begins doing that little step-dancing-in-place thing.. Pausing only to look at Scratch for a minute. Shaking his head and rolling his eyes, he'd go back to doing the step-dance-in-place, and try to think of how to rhyme to freakin' /dubstep/. Nobody RHYMES to dubstep. >:| but oh well, here goes.

"Boy do I hate lemons, I think they really suck. Every time I eat them, my mouth just gets stuck! There's no way you can enjoy them, not with any class. So take your friggin' lemons, and shove them up your.. …Nose."

Nice save there, Morty.

Tony Stark catcalls, "Nose doesn't rhyme with class!"

"This is a charity event." Rarity turns and GLARES back at the audience for the fashion comments. "So don't make me come back there and charitously Love and Tolerate your smartflanks!" Hfffs and sits back down…. Fortunately Morty's start off picks up her mood and she starts snickering again, then starts stomping her hooves along.

Negi is up next, and he sort of grooves to the Dubstep for a while, just sort of getting the hang of it, before stepping forward.

"I once was handed lemons, and told to make lemonade.
"but as it turns out, those lemons missed the grade.
"I suppose I would have liked to give those lemons back
"But at least it's not a book, with a forward by Cossack…"

Tony Stark collapses over the table with a thunk, his ribs heaving with laughter. He manages to pick himself up and bellow, "Get some new material!"

"Drop the beat!" Yunomi calls out, and she brings up her goggles, and in her hands two glowing balls of light appear, just the right size to be lemons, leaving light trails behind them as she nods to the beat.

"I thought I needed lemons, so I went down to the store,"
when I thought I had them, they hadn't any more. I found some at the farmstand, but it kind of missed the mark — though the box was scribbled 'Lemons', I had picked up Tony Stark!"

It should be Pinkie Pie doing the hoedown out here! Why did she make Rainbow Dash do it? The rainbow maned pegasus in a spiffy tophat hmphs when the music starts and folds her forelimbs over her chest. After a second though, she starts to tap a hoof a little to the beat. She's still frowning, but she cants her head slightly to the side, listening to the dubstep beat.

Okay, so maybe it's not SO bad.

And when the others start to go off on theirs, she starts to grin a bit, and unfolds her forelimbs from her chest, her head beating slightly in time.

"I thought I liked lemons, I thought they were so cool"
"They made such great drinks, but colt was I a fool!"
"Then one day the lemon factory became a frier!"
"Who would have known that lemonds could catch on fire!"

Negi just calls out the last line of Rainbow Dash's verse with everyone else, "COULD CATCH ON FIIIREEEE!"

Yunomi loops an arm around Negi's shoulder as she sings the last line with him and Dash, and at the end presses a little kiss to his cheek for him being /such/ a good sport about stealing his glasses, multiple times.
As they finish off the last line, Pinkie Pie hops back up on top of the table, making it wobble.
